The WWE Universe has been eagerly awaiting a potential reunion of one of the promotion’s most beloved factions, The Shield. For years, fans have speculated about the possibility of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose (now known as Jon Moxley), and Roman Reigns reuniting in some capacity. Recently, we spoke with Seth Rollins about the chances of The Shield regrouping, and the results are intriguing.
A Glimmer of Hope?
While speaking with us, Seth Rollins acknowledged the immense popularity of The Shield and the nostalgia surrounding the faction. However, he also expressed concerns about the challenges of reuniting the group, particularly given the vastly different directions each member has taken in their careers.
“I think a lot of people would love to see us get back together, and I get it,” Rollins begun, “But I’ve got to be honest with you, it’s a lot harder than people think. We’ve all been on such different paths, and our goals and priorities have changed. It’s not as simple as just throwing us all together again and expecting the magic to happen. We’ve grown as individuals, and that’s a good thing, but it’s also made it more complicated.”
The Current Landscape of The Shield Members
The Shield’s members have gone on to achieve incredible success in the WWE. Roman Reigns, the Big Dog, has become a mainstay in the company, holding the Universal Championship on multiple occasions. Dean Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley, made the shocking decision to leave the WWE for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he has carved out a reputation as one of the promotion’s top stars. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins has established himself as a top-tier champion, holding the WWE Championship on multiple occasions.
The Challenges of Reuniting The Shield
According to a WWE insider, one of the biggest obstacles to a Shield reunion is the differing creative directions of each member. “Roman Reigns is deeply invested in his Tribal Chief character, and there’s no indication that he’s ready to abandon that persona anytime soon,” the source revealed. “Jon Moxley has built a successful career in AEW, and it’s unclear if he’d be willing to leave that behind to rejoin the WWE. As for Seth Rollins, he’s been the driving force behind the WWE’s top storylines for years, and he’s got a lot of momentum behind him. Getting all three stars to align would be a logistical challenge, to say the least.”
Rollins’ Thoughts on a Potential Reunion
Despite the challenges, Seth Rollins remains open to the possibility of a Shield reunion. When asked about the prospect of reuniting with his former Shield brothers, Rollins expressed a desire to see the faction come together again, but also emphasized the importance of making sure it’s done right.
“I think we’ve got a good opportunity to do something special, but we’ve got to take our time and think about what we want to achieve. We can’t just rush into something and expect it to work. We’ve got to be smart about it and make sure it’s something that everyone is on board with. If we can make that happen, I think it could be something truly special.”
Conclusion
The Shield’s uncertain future remains a topic of discussion among WWE fans and insiders alike. While Seth Rollins acknowledges the difficulties of reuniting the faction, he remains open to the possibility. With the ever-changing landscape of the WWE and the differing creative directions of its top stars, it’s difficult to predict what the future holds for The Shield. One thing is certain, however: the WWE Universe will be watching with bated breath to see if the faction can somehow find a way to come together again.
